BA English Literature

Whether our English majors focus on literature or creative writing, their experience in many ways reflects Auden's union of writing and pleasure. The Lycoming College English department is a tight-knit literary community where students marry their passions for writing and reading with their natural curiosity about the world around them. Intimate class sizes facilitate casual group discussions on literary themes, in-depth analysis of cultural contexts, and collaborative writing workshops with peers. Here, students become each other's biggest fans and most careful critics, all while gaining the practical communication, research, and critical thinking skills the real world demands. Our graduates leave Lycoming with a breadth and depth of knowledge that gives them a competitive edge as they head off to graduate school or to pursue a wide range of careers.
